Investigators Yet To Speak To Only ‘Person Of Interest’
|
Turner’s throat had been cut and the only person of interest in the case remains her estranged husband, Kirk Alan Turner, 50, a dentist in Clemmons, who has yet to speak officially with any law enforcement officers.
“We have requested through his attorneys an interview and have had no response,” lead investigator Capt. J.D. Hartman of the Davie County Sheriff’s Department said.
The case is also being investigated by the District Attorney’s Office and SBI.
Dr. Turner had gone to the couple’s home, for reasons still not made known, the evening of Sept. 12. Turner was accompanied by another man who has not been identified, Hartman said.
Around 10 p.m. a 911 call was received reporting a domestic disturbance at the home.
When authorities arrived Ms. Turner was dead, and Dr. Turner had been transported to Baptist Hospital for injuries he had received.
Less than a month later Dr. Turner was out of the hospital and back at his dental practice, Clemmons Family Dental.
The 911 tape was sealed by the district attorney as well as autopsy reports on Ms. Turner.
Since Ms. Turner’s death, her sister has filed a wrongful death suit against Dr. Turner alleging her sister’s death was caused by his intentional acts.
At the time of this report Dr. Turner had not filed a response to that suit.
District Attorney Garry Frank had no comment concerning the ongoing investigation ... subscribe to the Davie County Enterprise Record, P.O. Box 99, Mocksville, N.C. 27028.
